Se 150 anni fa era giá chiaro che un posto come la terra, dove le risorse sono "finite" cioé non dureranno in eterno non poteva sostenere un'economia di tipo capitalistico, di che stiamo parlando? Anche questo letto per il corso sul postmodernismo, vediamo dove andiamo a finire.

Funnily enough, the only other Marx I’ve read is The Communist Manifesto. I definitely should have read this one first. Crazy good introduction to the issues w/ capitalism and the wage system w/o all the crazy ass vocabulary. Recommend it heavily as an intro text to anti-capitalism.
I will say, though, that capitalism’s functioning and the system of wages have both changed in some very interesting ways. The main one that I think about is the change from an industrial economy to a service economy where the product is more abstract, and the growing prevalence of elimination/exclusion of the human “worker” from production. Some other texts I’ve read have talked about this, mostly more contemporary ones like One-Dimensional Man by Herbert Markuse (one of my favorite books).
In spite of its (sometimes) outdatedness, I would still recommend it. It’s quick, accessible, and is free from most of the horrifically boring prose of the time period.

Very important if at times very dry Marx, mostly focusing on economic theory, but occasionally discussing political/philosophical/ethical problems. Almost definitely more groundbreaking and important when it was published than it is now - much of the important stuff can be found in some of his other works.
